Tires
 

Who knows wat kind of tires i need for drfiting. or does any1 have a chart of the tires if so plzz post it on the fourm.

I use hard slicks on all the wheels.

what about the foam tires... ??? and i fliped the wheels around so its lik edeep dish rims it looks is that good... for the car.. its looks good but can it break...

I also did that to my wheels...looks great! I don't think it will break the wheels unless they are screwed in really tight. I think the foam tires will also work. But when drifting, its good to have hard tires.

AWD makes it EASY!

awd - you want something slick that your car can overpower and easily spin. taping over works. hard slicks, drift tires work too. awd is what you want for easy drifting! (i think of it sorta as ice racing)

rwd - this is a whole different game. really depends on the surface. you want the front to understeer though because xmods simply do not have enough countersteer or perciseness. you want a balance of rear grip and power. rule of thumb would be one grade grippier tire in the rear, so for dusty concrete i would run front hard slicks/ rears medium slicks. same goes with springs.(you want enough power to overcome understeer, not too much where you spin out all the time. throttle control and countersteer timing is critical)

fwd - im still experimenting with this.. hards in front. taped in back. it mostly just slides really quickly then straighten outs... pretty funny actually. good for tight 90 degree turns?

hmm...
 

i posted my drift tutorial somewhere on this board but u do not want to use foam! foam will be donuts, the thing is that once the drift is over your tires can regain grip with the surface and you can slowly accelerate out of the turn simply regain tractin by letting go of the gas a little and slowing the wheels down.
